In our August 2014 issue (now available) there’s a whole lotta inspiration that you won’t want to miss. From using cute clips to fun projects incorporating text talk, word bubbles, hashtags, and check boxes, and a lesson in designing on the diagonal. It’s seriously our best issue yet!
This month our Trend Talk centers around Native American inspired projects. You’ll find lots of modern twists on this Southwestern style with feathers, prints, dream catchers, teepees, fringe, and beads.
Let’s take a look at three different designs you’ll find in the issue.

Amazing Card by Cassie D’Ambrosio
I just LOVE what Cassie D’Ambrosio did with her card. She combined four different stamps sets and added her own hand drawn accents and coloring to create this custom design.

Hello Summer layout by Kim Watson
Kim Watson went all out with feathers, beads, wooden accents, and appropriate patterns on this stunning layout. The hand drawn dots and hash marks and the sketchy summer font add to the rustic yet sophisticated look.
